This thesis investigates the influence of hybrid theatre practices, media and technology on contemporary dance performance and questions if dance is endangered by developments in hybrid cultures. Through a consideration of dance genealogies, the thesis suggests that notions of identity play a significant role in power structures within interdisciplinary relationships. / Contemporary dance has gone through many changes in the last century. In particular, contemporary aspects of performance have demonstrated that the body is not the only site for dance. Why dance, is a culmination of questions that surfaced during the course of my own practice. It refers to questions that many dancers have asked themselves in the years following the arrival of postmodernism, when notions of body identity confronted conceptual possibilities in the terrain of interdisciplinary and mediated spaces. / Incorporating my own experience as a practitioner and observer with theoretical perspectives in the field, I have attempted to give voice to some of the ambiguities and paradoxes that inhabit dance and its hybrid postmodern affiliates. I make use of various genealogies that have led to hybrid and interdisciplinary interactions as a means to define relationships of power that exist within interdisciplinarity. The use of case studies and examples of performances from Europe and Australia provide material through which to examine performance methodologies that have arisen out of interdisciplinary practice. My reading and suggestions express the concern that disciplines outside of the body may have become more important as defining element in dance. Through an examination of new ways that dancers now speak through media other than their bodies, the thesis examines what affects this has on the discipline of dance and questions if notions of disciplinarity are still relevant. While it has become necessary to reconstruct, reinterpret and demystify the body, the outcome suggests that autonomy rests with recognition of the body as the site for further development within negotiated spaces.

Der französische Choreograph Jérôme Bel setzt in seinem biographischen Zyklus von 2004-2009 das Verhältnis von Werk und Autor, von Choreographie und Choreograph in Szene, vor deren Hintergrund die Geschichten und Namen des Tanzes anders lesbar werden: Die Stücke Bels tragen als Titel die Namen der Tänzer, die in ihnen auftreten. Die Geschichte der Namensgebung in der Arbeit Bels ist auch eine Geschichte, in der sein Name als Choreograph und Autor verschwindet, wenn er erscheint und erscheint, wenn er verschwindet. Von diesem Grenz-Ort aus wäre jene Geste zu befragen, die Jérome Bel vollzieht, wenn er den Stücken, für die sein Name steht, als Titel den Namen der Tänzer gibt, die in ihnen auftreten.

Apontam-se três formas de utilização do gestual cotidiano em Kontakthof: gesto realista, deslocado e estilizado. Essas três formas de utilização do gesto podem ter diferentes leituras dependendo da geração que as executa. Assim, realiza-se um estudo de caso de Kontakthof através das gerações, ou seja, uma análise de cenas selecionadas, observando-se como uma mesma cena pode ter diferentes leituras, dependendo do elenco que a interpreta. Como resultado prático da pesquisa, chega-se ao experimento cênico Antes que seja tarde, uma síntese poética do material levantado na pesquisa teórica / Abstract: This research project aims to analyze the use of daily gestures in the play Kontakthof (1978), choreographed by Pina Bausch in a first version from year 1978, conceived and performed by the Tanztheater Wuppertal dancers, in a second version from year 2000, held by ladies and gentlemen over 65 and residents in Wuppertal, and a third and final version, from 2008, held by teenagers, Wuppertal?s public school students. We identified three ways to use daily gesture in Kontakthof: realistic, dislocated and stylized. However, these three ways of using the gesture may have different interpretations depending on the generation that runs them. Thus, we made a study case of Kontakthof through generations, which consist in an analysis of selected scenes, observing how the same scene can have different meanings, depending on the cast who plays it. As a practical result of the research we came to the scenic experiment Antes que seja tarde (Before it's too late) a poetic synthesis of the material raised in theoretical research / Mestrado / Artes da Cena / Mestra em Artes da Cena

No. of bitstreams: 1 Paula Carolina Petreca.pdf: 1234607 bytes, checksum: 16d8cb1fa96eb99b2e8ec48d32d3195f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-05-06 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / The German choreographer Pina Bausch has had her work diffused thanks to the contribution of cultural journalism, legitimizing its assimilation into symbolic systems which compose Brazilian cultural assembly. The phenomenon performed by cultural journalism between the first two Bausch s Brazilian tours, occurred in 1980 and 1990 respectively, the first being a pale episode as the audiences reception has been cold and critical, while the second has elevated the German company to a greater level of recognition. What happened meanwhile that promoted such a change? The hypothesis is that the diffusion of information operated by press has dealt to a better knowledge of the choreographer s work, as well as turning it to be familiar to local cultural production, dealing to the construction of a context which is being under process for more than two decades. Reflections raised by Critical Theories of Communication, according to the following authors: Benjamin (1936), Baudrillard (1995), Jameson (1998) and Bauman (2001); evoke arguments which contextualize the cultural compreension of the environment that hosts the object of this research, and the object (the action of cultural journalism between 1980 and 1990 over the diffusion of information about Pina Bausch) focus on the scope of multitude s speech (Negri, 2005). The research over material published in two newspapers from São Paulo: O Estado de São Paulo e Folha de São Paulo, has been related to testimonials of various Brazilian choreographers who recognise that the information brought by Pina Bausch has transformed and impacted their work. The methodology applied has enabled the delimitation of the role played by the newspapers previously mentioned, while interchanging information between public and artists. Theoric-practical transit has been estabilished while interviewing local choreographers whose production relate in a certain way to Pina Bausch s one, that have argumented over this issue. Regarding the lack of specific conjunctural historic source concerning dance in Brazil, this dissertation aims to contribute to on-course discussions over cultural journalism impact and its traces in Brazilians dance / O jornalismo cultural contribuiu para difundir o trabalho da coreógrafa alemã Pina Bausch, legitimando sua assimilação junto aos sistemas simbólicos componentes da tessitura cultural brasileira. Trata-se de um fenômeno operado pelo jornalismo cultural entre as duas primeiras turnês brasileiras de Bausch, ocorridas respectivamente nos anos de 1980 e 1990, sendo a primeira um episódio pálido, com recepção fria de público e crítica, enquanto a segunda reverteu-se em total consagração da companhia germânica. O que aconteceu nesse intervalo de tempo que promoveu tamanha mudança? A hipótese é a de que as informações veiculadas pela mídia impressa puderam formar um conhecimento sobre o trabalho da coreógrafa e torná-lo familiar para a produção cultural local, tecendo um contexto que vem se estabelecendo ao longo de mais de duas décadas. As reflexões suscitadas pelas Teorias Críticas da Comunicação - conforme se apresentam nas obras de Benajmin (1936), Baudrillard (1995), Jameson (1998) e Bauman (2001)- fornecem os intrumentos argumentativos para a compreensão conjuntural do ambiente que acolhe o objeto da pesquisa realizada, e o objeto (a ação do jornalismo cultural entre 1980 e 1990 na difusão de informações sobre Pina Bausch) é focado no âmbito dos discursos das multidões (Negri, 2005). A pesquisa do material publicado em dois jornais paulistanos de circulação nacional, O Estado de São Paulo e Folha de São Paulo, foi reunida a investigações a respeito dos processos contaminatórios que se estabeleceram a partir daí. Com essa metodologia tornou-se possível delimitar qual o papel que os dois jornais acima citados desempenharam no fluxo informacional entre a esfera artística e a pública. O trânsito teórico-prático se deu na realização de entrevistas realizadas com coreógrafos locais, que se relacionam, de alguma maneira, com a produção de Pina Bausch, e desenvolveram discursos a esse respeito. Tendo em vista a pouca quantidade de registros históricos conjunturais específicos sobre dança no Brasil, a pesquisa espera colaborar com as discussões em curso sobre o impacto do jornalismo cultural e sobre seus rastros na produção de dança brasileira

The central role that avant-garde music and dance theatre played in the interplay and synthesis of the arts and media in the 1920s, particularly in Paris, is well known. However, the creative potential of ballet has hardly been recognized in its manifold relationships with film and cinematic-inspired expression. The extent to which especially ballet music interacted with the latest cinematographic principles and techniques and referred to cinematic aesthetics in a variety of ways can instructively be seen regarding the productions of the Ballets Suédois. This is discussed in this article with an exemplary look at Les Mariés de la Tour Eiffel (1921), Within the Quota (1923), Skating Rink (1922) and Relâche (1924). By that it becomes clear that the transmedia inclusion of cinematographic ideas not only inspired the vocabulary of avant-garde dance and modern choreography, but was also distinctively reflected in the conception and composition of film-affected music.
